Jordan Nolan was a healthy scratch on Sunday.

LAKings.com

Impact

He was joined in the press box by Linden Vey and Tanner Pearson. Just an FYI in case you took any of the three late in your playoff pool and was wondering why they were not in the lineup. Nolan played in Game 1 and was in the press box as coach Darryl Sutter went with seven defensemen in the lineup.

Nolan scored his first goal since Dec. 17 against the Edmonton Oilers. He now has six goals and four assists in 61 games this season. He has no fantasy value. Jarret Stoll and Alec Martinez assisted the lone goal for the Kings.

Nolan is day-to-day with undisclosed injury | 11/22/2013 3:52 PM

News

Jordan Nolan has been dealing with an undisclosed injury.

LAKingsInsider.com

Impact

Nolan isn't on the injured reserve list and he was able to participate in Friday's practice. That being said, he isn't likely to play on Saturday.

Nolan doesn't have much fantasy value while Carcillo was once an interesting PIM guy for the Philadelphia Flyers. He's not really given free reign to fill the penalty box any longer, though. Justin Williams scored the Kings' other goal today.

Report: No discipline for Kings' Jordan Nolan | 09/16/2013 6:18 PM

News

It doesn't look like Jordan Nolan will be suspended for his hit on Phoenix's Rostislav Klesla.

Bob McKenzie on Twitter

Impact

The NHL held a review of the incident and according to TSN's Bob McKenzie, supplemental discipline doesn't appear to be coming for the Los Angeles forward. Klesla was taken off the ice on a stretcher after absorbing the hit.

Klesla left Sunday's game on a stretcher and Nolan appeared to make contact with his head. "He was skating through the middle of his ice, and I was just focusing on his chest, and I feel like I hit him square in the chest," Nolan said. Of course, it's rare to find a player that calls their own hit dirty. We'll see if the league feels Nolan is deserving of a fine or suspension.

News

Jordan Nolan and Tyler Toffoli left the ice at the same time Tuesday morning, so it isn't clear yet which one will play in Game 7.

LAKingsInsider.com

Impact
